The Iberian ribbed newt is a salamander that lives in ponds and wells in Spain, Portugal and northern Morocco. It is the largest European newt species. When threatened, it can push its sharp ribs out through its skin, which gives it a way to defend itself against predators.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Hoe om dit te herken

Dark grey on its back and lighter grey on its belly, with small rust-coloured spots1
Usually 8 to 10 orange, wart-like bumps (tubercles) running down each side of the body1
Flat, spade-shaped head and a long tail, about half of its body length1
Males are more slender and usually smaller than females1
Larvae have bushy external gills and paler colours than adults1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is sometimes confused with the Iberian newt (Lissotriton boscai), a different species with a similar common name.1

Gifkrag

Giftige stekels

Skerp stekels dra die gif. Dit maak seer as jy daarop trap of dit gryp.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

When threatened, the newt releases a milky, thick poison from glands on its neck, back, sides and tail as its ribs push out. The poison coats the ribs, which can pierce the skin of a predator's mouth and inject toxins.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

The rib defence is completely harmless to humans. The ribs cause only little harm to the newt itself, and its skin quickly heals without infection.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It tries to run away from predators first. If it cannot escape, it pushes its sharp ribs through its sides and releases poison.1

As sy stekels jou steek

As iemand aan een geraak het: was die hande goed en moenie aan die oë of mond raak nie. As 'n kind of troeteldier een gelek of geëet het: bel 'n gifsentrum of jou noodnommer.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As sy stekels jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Its ribs can push through its skin to act as a defence, a primitive and rudimentary form of envenomation.1

It is a model animal for regeneration research. It can regrow lost limbs, injured heart tissue, brain cells, eye lenses and parts of its spinal cord.1

This newt has been sent into space on at least six missions, starting in 1985.1

In genetic males and females, temperature can override sex chromosomes. Some ZW larvae reared at 32 °C (90 °F) become functional males.1

Its immune system, rib-coated collagen and antimicrobial peptides let the pierced skin heal quickly without infection.1

Females can keep live sperm in their cloaca for up to five months.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The newt's ribs and poison are dangerous to people.

Waarheid: The ribs and poison are a defence against predators. The rib defence is completely harmless to humans.1
